PHOTOS: We Showed DC That #ItTakesAllofUs!

#ItTakesAllofUs

• Because in order for all of us (and our families, friends, and neighbors) to be safe, we have to change our culture. • Because we may all experience gender-based violence, but not all our experiences are the same. • Because culture change is hard work, but it is not impossible. • Because all of us have the capacity to make a difference — but we are a LOT more powerful when we do it together.

Here’s our recap of our July 26th event, #ItTakesAllofUs, where you joined us in conversations and workshops to help end sexual violence! The more work for all of you to make DC a safer city, the more we realize how rare and special it is to get together and talk about what we believe in. That’s why it was so incredible to see about 35 of you join us for #ItTakesAllofUs.

On that beautiful day in Malcolm X Park, we shared our stories and skills for every day violence prevention with each other. Most importantly, we committed to working together in the future toward our vision of a city free of gender-based violence. You truly inspired and energized us and we can’t wait to imagine with you again soon!
